This was descriptive study carried out in a medium-sized Brazilian city. In ≤ 15-year-old contacts of index cases of active pulmonary tuberculosis, we assessed compliance with the Brazilian national guidelines for tuberculosis control. We interviewed 43 contacts and their legal guardians. Approximately 80% of the contacts were not assessed by the municipal public health care system, and only 21% underwent tuberculin skin testing. The results obtained with the Chi-square Automatic Interaction Detector method suggest that health care teams have a biased attitude toward assessing such contacts and underscore the need for training health professionals regarding tuberculosis control programs.
这是一项在巴西一个中等城市开展的描述性研究。在活动性肺结核索引病例15岁及以下的接触者中,我们评估了对巴西国家结核病控制指南的依从性。我们采访了43名接触者及其法定监护人。约80%的接触者未接受市政公共卫生保健系统的评估,只有21%的人接受了结核菌素皮肤试验。通过卡方自动相互作用探测器方法获得的结果表明,医疗团队在评估此类接触者时存在偏见态度,并强调有必要对卫生专业人员进行结核病控制项目方面的培训。
